People getting excited about Hillary in Texas should look at the county map
Dallas - 13% reporting, Obama +40k
Project +350k

Austin - 9% reporting, Obama +30k
Project +300k

Houston - 1%, Obama +30k
Project +3Mil (sounds too big, CNN probably has 1% reporting wrong). Lets just say +500k

With most of the rural counties fully reporting.

Obama, should see a net gain of 1.2Million votes by the time its over.

He will win by 7 to 10% easy.

1. That's what I'm noticing....

How does El Paso's 0% reporting at this time affect the picture?

Edit: Presido and Val Verde also have 0% in "Hillary Country". Will they generate a lot of votes her way.

4. And we STILL are waiting on Caucus Results.
I just don't get why we go through this every time? Early results come in for smaller areas, and favor HRC. Metro areas come in late - favor Obama. Obama's supporters are also more dedicated and come out to caucus for him.

*sigh*

9. Those vote totals include early voters

So it's skewed.

Also, El Paso is big for Hillary.

11. Yup
Most won't bother checking the map though. About 70% of the rural counties are fully reporting. We barely have 10% of the urban vote.
